By Ram - Class 1A
As we round the regular season's halfway point and begin to head toward home, the focus shifts from Non-District games to games that matter with implications toward the post season. Only two Top 10 teams in Class 1A challenged ranked foes in Week 5 with Beechwood taking down Covington Holy Cross in an intense battle, and Fairview taking it on the chin to 2A LCA. With the exception of Kentucky Country Day falling to 3A Adair County, the remainder of the Top 10 held relatively in tact. The District Schedule portion of the season gets off to a rapid start this week headlined by rival... Read More →

Concerning the top story line for this week, District Football is here! Whether you already have 1 district game under your belt or if you are on the brink of it, the most important part of the regular season has arrived. These are teams you know well and they know you well. You have a history that goes back many years (by most accounts). Some battles have gone your way and some have not, but the freshness in the air of a new season is upon us. Whether you have had a good season to this point or not really, doesn’t... Read More →

By gchs_uk9 - Crown Not Yet too Heavy for Central
William Shakespeare wrote in his play King Henry IV, "uneasy lies the head that wears a crown." For ten consecutive years Louisville Central has worn the district champion crown and after 27 seniors graduated from the 2015 team, along with a strong push from several teams within the district, there was talk that this year would be the year the title was relinquished. After starting 0-4 in 2016, that talk grew even louder. However, to modify an old Mark Twain quote, "the report of Central's death was an exaggeration."
On Friday night, #6 Central... Read More →

By Voice of Reason - Two of the top 5 in 1A took losses last week from teams in the very top tier in the state. Beechwood lost to Covington Catholic and dropped a couple places in the rankings as a result. Pikeville lost by an even wider margin to Belfry. Pikeville hung on to the #5 ranking despite the loss. It looks like the feeling in the ranking is the top 5 in 1A have separated themselves from the next 5.
Looking ahead to this week's games there are several matchups that are interesting. Everyone has their thoughts on how these key games will go. Since we are about halfway through the season, I thought it... Read More →

1. Trinity – (5-0) Some say Trinity came out to PRP a little too relaxed with their success this season winning only by 19 (29-10), or maybe PRP is better than many thought they were? Regardless, Trinity stays number 1 as it faces Jeffersontown which should not be much of a game.
2. Male – (4-1) Male dominates Seneca (66-6) as expected and hangs on to the second place. Next week Male faces a little more difficult opponent in Butler.

By JDEaston - At the halfway point in the season three teams have really stood out as the top contenders. Bowling Green, the consensus number one, along with Covington Catholic and Christian County all seem to have separated themselves from the rest of the playing field. But that doesn’t mean the other teams in class 5A won’t have something to say about that come playoff time.
The next group of teams to take note of would be Greenwood, Fern Creek, Pulaski County, and Southwestern. Each of those teams have had great season’s thus far, especially Greenwood whose sole loss is to 4A #4... Read More →

By theguru - FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: September 20, 2016
The KHSAA today issued sanctions regarding Bylaw 15 (Practice of Sportsmanship) violations from a pair of football contests, as well as final rulings concerning Bylaw 22 (Contests, Sanctions, Rules, Forfeitures) incidents from last weekend.
Per the KHSAA Competition Rules, when a contracted football game is interrupted by events beyond the control of all parties, three choices exist:
a) Terminate game with score as it exists;
b) Resume game at point of interruption at a mutually agreed date and time. This decision shall be finalized at the... Read More →

By DragonFire - We’re halfway through the 2016 regular season. Can you believe that? Isn’t that depressing? But depression aside, to my eyes, we have seen some definitive tiers emerge in 4A. The true monsters of the class seem to shuffle around a bit in the top 5, but they all stay in the top five. John Hardin crashed the party early on, and perhaps may yet do so again in the future, but for now, they occupy the stalking horse position. But those top five, you have to really feel like one of them is going to be your state champion. You have Johnson Central and their powerful run game, tearing up... Read More →

By ATLCat - Colts Catching Up
When teams like Mayfield and Central have been able to crush schools from other classifications with a number next to their name it has made it somewhat easy to see DeSales fade from the foreground. The Colts took an early season loss to a solid 6A Ballard squad and their early season conquests over some of 6A's more "middle of the pack" squads really didn't raise eyebrows. DeSales though sure put themselves on notice Friday by handling a Top 5 ranked 5A Fern Creek squad in rather convincing fashion.
DeSales has overcame some early season bumps and bruises and just... Read More →

By Ram - Class 1A
The two teams who played for the Class 1A State Title in 2015 had tough draws this Friday as Beechwood and Pikeville lost by a combined score of 100-23 to two very good larger classification foes. The two remain in the Top 5, but as a result Paintsville and Raceland both see their number decrease by one behind incumbent top-ranked Russellville. District play begins for some of the Top 10 teams with the most notable match-up being #6 Nicholas County putting their undefeated record on the line against Bishop Brossart. Beechwood and Fairview each draw Top 10 teams from Class 2A.

By Purple88 - BluegrassPreps 2016 Western Kentucky Power Rankings – Week 4 Edition
Concerning the top story line for this week, lightning made its presence felt across the state delaying and prematurely canceling games. While I understand the rule, I honestly feel it is time to revisit this rule to see if adjustments could be made. I am safety first as much as the next guy, but if prevailing technical science/Doppler radar can intervene with "common sense", I feel SOME modification to the rule could pay off with MANY resumptions of games that are currently canceled in a SAFE manner or played in Scott...

By gchs_uk9 - Adair, Bardstown, and Casey Proving Winning is Easy as A,B,C
Five schools in Class 3A have made it to mid-September without a loss. Two of those were no surprise, as #1 Belfry and #2 Corbin have earned their preseason rankings by knocking off a number of quality teams from multiple classes. The three other undefeateds, however, may have caught a few by surprise. Adair County, Bardstown, and Casey County have combined to start the season 13-0 and there is potential for more wins and postseason success as the year progresses.
Adair County has begun the last two seasons with long... Read More →
